Amusing, Yes… but Fake…
Amusing, yes. Entertaining. I mean, who wouldn’t love to run up and slap a Spartan sticker on a Presidential limo?
Problem is, it’s fake. Here’s the original:
Back story is something along the lines of: the Presidential seal, which is just one of those magnetic door decal types, fell off the car. A police officer (or detective, or Secret Service agent, or somesuch) finds it and reattaches it.
First one is more appropriate though.
Subjugation, Jeopardy, and Circumvention…
Seen somewhere out there on the Interwebs (received in email, but also seen at Michael Bane’s and elsewhere)
When you actively seek to disarm me you are deliberately attempting to subjugate me and put my family in mortal jeopardy — that fact makes you my enemy. The Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States did not create the rights of man; it simply enumerated and affirmed them. When you seek to nullify or circumvent the Constitution of the United States as well as the Constitutions of each individual State, you are my enemy.
Why Gun Control is Logically Flawed
Spotted at David Codrea’s: Why Gun Control is Logically Flawed
Then again, we all know that misguided people don’t use logic, and the evil ones do use logic, they just lie about it.
My Stance on Gun Rights
Wait … you mean you don’t know what my stance is on Gun Rights?
Am I in favor of gun rights?
Let’s be clear: Guns don’t have any rights–they’re only tools.
A person has rights.
I am very much in favor of The People maintaining their rights — all the way down to, and in particular, the smallest minority — to exist peaceably and unmolested.
I also recognize that there is evil in the world that will commence violence against those peaceable citizens. Those evil monsters have no regard for morals, laws, or the rights of others.
The peaceable citizens must therefore have at their immediate disposal all sufficient tools to ensure they maintain their rights. That includes all variety and nature of firearms that may be needed to fend off violent criminals and, yes, even tyrannical governments who will do them harm.
Any bully — any tyrant — who makes any attempt to eliminate or even cheapen the rights of the citizenry in any manner only serves to strengthen further my resolve to resist their efforts.
